Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
BACKGROUND Mutations play a major role in the pathogenesis and development of several chronic degenerative diseases including cancer. It follows, therefore that antimutagenic compound may inhibit the pathological process resulting from exposure to mutagens. Investigation of the antimutagenic potential of traditional medicinal plants and compounds isolated from plant extracts provides one of the...
متن کاملAntimutagenic Activity of Olive Leaf Aqueous Extract by Ames Test
Medicinal plants are an important source of substances which are claimed to induce anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The leaves of the olive tree (Oleaeur opaea) have been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times and research has suggested that olive leaf extracts have antimicrobial and antimutagenic properties. In this study, Olive leaf aqueous extracts were screened for their ...
متن کاملFree Radical-scavenging and Antimutagenic Potential of Acetone, Chloroform and Methanol Extracts of Leaf of Argemone Mexicana
Antioxidant and antimutagenic potency of acetone, chloroform and methanol extracts of Argemone mexicana leaves were investigated by employing nitroblue tetrazolium and Ames assay. Maximum superoxide anion radicals scavenging responses noticed were 84.0, 81.0 and 75.0 % in acetone, methanol and chloroform extracts at a dose of 200μg/ml. Inhibitory potential was compared with the standard (L-asco...
متن کاملMethanol extract of Bauhinia purpurea leaf possesses anti-ulcer activity.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the anti-ulcer activity of a methanol extract of Bauhinia purpurea leaf (MEBP). MATERIALS AND METHODS MEBP was administered at doses of 100, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg and its effects on acute toxicity, absolute ethanol- and indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration, and pyloric ligation tests in rats were investigated. RESULTS At a dose of 5,0...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Potential of Methanol Extract of Aegle marmelos in Animals
The aim of the current research was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of methanol extract of Aegle marmelos in an experimental animal model of cellular and humoral immunity. Administration of methanol extract of Aegle marmelos (500 and 1000 mg/kg, p.o.) and Ocimum sanctum (100 mg/kg, p.o.), produced significant increase in adhesion of neutrophils and an increase in phagocytic index in ...
